The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Function of the Hormone**: The question asks for a hormone that increases the length of grape stalks, improves the shape of apples, and speeds up the malting process in the brewing industry. 2. **Recall Plant Hormones**: There are several plant hormones known to influence growth and development, including auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, and abscisic acid. 3. **Focus on Gibberellins**: Among these hormones, gibberellins are known for promoting stem elongation, fruit development, and seed germination. 4. **Specific Effects of Gibberellins**: - **Lengthening Grape Stalks**: Gibberellins promote elongation of stems, which would increase the length of grape stalks. - **Improving Apple Shape**: Gibberellins can enhance fruit growth and shape, making apples more uniform and larger. - **Speeding Up Malting Process**: In the brewing industry, gibberellins are used to promote the germination of barley, which is essential for malting. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the functions mentioned, the hormone that fulfills all these criteria is **Gibberellin**. **Final Answer**: Gibberellin ---
